In fact, after all, Gu Linjiang's words still made Gu Suliang start to care. After hearing those words he said today, Gu Suliang would inevitably feel a little sorry for Gu Qiang. After all, no one knows now. , If he didn't intervene in this matter halfway, would Bai Zhi die, and Dong Liang would attack the border?

Perhaps if I hadn't deliberately approached her after Gu Qian married Shen Qianshan, the following things would not happen.

Because of this, he felt a little depressed and sat outside drinking most of the night.

People always have hope for unknown things. Of course, they may also be fear. Gu Suliang didn’t know how much alcohol he drank outside. He always felt that he was not drunk at all. He didn’t wander about until dawn broke. He cleaned up the hip flask placed on the edge of the mill and returned to his room.

Gu Qiang didn't sleep well in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, she slept with her head covered. He slept for three poles in the day, and opened the door after washing, but was hit by the panic chasing cloud.

Gu Ling, who was still sleepy-eyed, was woken up by him, "What's the matter? What happened in a panic?"

"Gu Gongzi was declared into the palace early in the morning. I don't know what Shen Zhongbai wants to do. Qi Bai just came and said that he hasn't come back yet."

Hearing that something was wrong with his brother, Gu Qiang quickly picked up his coat, followed the cloud and went to the hall. As expected, Qi Bai was even more anxious and couldn't sit still.

Gu Suliang originally went to bed at dawn, but now he is asleep, Gu Qiang didn’t even think about disturbing him at all, and quickly grabbed Qi Bai who was like an ant on a hot pan, "In your heart Walking around, first tell me what happened?"

"Just this morning, someone suddenly came from the palace and said that he was going to enter the palace. The first son didn’t say anything, so he followed them, but it was almost noon and there was no letter at all, so I just came to discuss with you."

Entering the palace is not a big deal for Gu Qiang, it's just that he is now Shen Siyin's husband, and it is not so strange to enter the palace often. Why did Shen Zhongbai suddenly announce his brother entering the palace?

After Shen Zhongbai left the morning court, he returned to the study, and Gu Huaian had been standing in the study for a while, and not long after, Gu Linjiang also walked in.

"Caomin Gu Huai'an, see the emperor."

"Huaian doesn't have to be polite, just get up and talk."

Shen Zhongbai asked Gu Huai'an to come into the palace for nothing else. After all, Shen Qianshan's affairs have been delayed for so long, and it is not a problem to delay it. At least a reasonable explanation must be given to stop it. For the leisurely people who lived in the court, only Gu Huaian was the most suitable.

Above the court, it was as calm as water on the surface. In fact, there were no idea how many people had been ambitious and wanted him as the throne.

Including Gu Linjiang, they all waited to see their own jokes. If they were not careful, except for some mistakes, all the forces would take the opportunity to cause chaos. Not long after they took the throne, the throne has not yet been secured, and they must not take any risky behavior.

Shen Qianshan’s whereabouts were unknown on the battlefield, and Gu Qiang died in the imperial palace. Now the Nine Kings Mansion is supported by Gu Huaian alone. Shen Zhongbai still feels a little owed to Gu Qianshan in his heart. Therefore, to Gu Huai'an, he had never prepared to kill him.

After Gu Linjiang walked into the study room, he realized that there was already a person standing in the study room. He carefully looked at Gu Huai'an from his side. He hadn’t seen this son for a long time. He was almost too fast. I don't know anymore.

"If I remember correctly, Huai'an left home when he was young and was famous for staying in Jiangnan, and he was also awarded the number one champion in Jiangnan, but he didn't enter the court as an official later, right?"

The atmosphere of the three of them was a little weird. Still, Shen Zhongbai spoke first.

Gu Huaian was brought into the palace early in the morning. Before he knew what purpose Shen Zhongbai was looking for, he didn't dare to act rashly, but made a deep beating against Shen Zhongbai, "Go back to the emperor, Cao Min is indeed."

"The failure of talents like Huai'an to be reused is really a great loss for the court. If this is the case, I have an idea. I want Huai'an to be an official in the court. This is something that is conducive to Jiangshan society. Too many refusals."

No matter how Gu Huaian thought that he had been calculated by Shen Zhongbai this early in the morning, he would inevitably be a little flustered. If he were to become an official at this time, it might disrupt all the plans of everyone. Gu Huaian was thinking about what should be. What excuse did he use to refuse? Gu Linjiang spoke first.

"The emperor, don't! Gu Huai'an is the son of a veteran. The Bei'an dynasty had laws long ago. If Gu Huai'an accepts the reward, I am afraid it will attract people's discussion."

In the recent period, Shen Zhongbai has gradually replaced the officials he promoted and replaced them with his own people. Although they were all small actions, they still affected him.

What's more, even if his son left home when he was young, he might not be on his side even if he was really standing in line. Instead of cultivating one more helper for his opponent, he might as well cut off Shen Zhongbai's idea directly from the root.

Gu Linjiang is a smart man, and he will never dig holes for himself to jump.

"Oh? Is that true?" Shen Zhongbai sat down in his chair, picked up the Zhubi on the side, and began to review the memorial presented today, seemingly indifferent to what Gu Linjiang said.

Gu Linjiang stepped forward and bowed, "The emperor, the two Huai'an and Liu'er are the children of the old minister's wife. I am afraid that no one in the capital knows about this. , It does not sound good."

"I have heard that Gu Huai'an was expelled from Prime Minister Gu's house as early as a teenager. If we calculate according to this, wouldn't Huai'an have already been separated from Prime Minister Gu? It's not the prime minister's son. , Then why can't I make him an official?"

Shen Zhongbai did not rush to kill all the people in the Nine Kings Mansion, and he respected Gu Huai'an's words. He has not announced the death of Shen Qianshan for the time being. He has already done this. Gu Huai'an should also know that as long as he is a good official in the court, Not on the side of Gu Linjiang is not a bad thing to myself.

Gu Linjiang and Shen Zhongbai were dealing with each other, but Gu Huai'an suddenly spoke and raised his head, "Huai'an is naturally grateful for being appreciated by the emperor. The grassroots are here and thank the emperor first."

Gu Huaian didn't have any better ideas. It seemed that he could only take one step and count one step. When he went back, he would discuss with Qi Bai and Xi'er on what he should do next.

"It seems that Huai'an doesn't have any objections. I think the position of the minister of ceremonies seems to be vacant, so let Huai'an go up first. From the third grade, no one should say that I am too partial, right?"

The position of the Minister of Etiquette is not high or low, but it is enough to prevent Gu Linjiang from getting involved in the Ministry of Rites. For Shen Zhongbai, it is a great help.

"I don't think Gu Cheng should have any opinions on this matter, so I won't leave Prime Minister Gu much. I still have some things to explain to the two people in Huai'an."

He said that there was something to explain, but it was just handing over all the imperial decree and the letter of appointment to Gu Huai'an. Gu Huaian had the imperial decree in his hand, and suddenly he didn't know what he should do.

However, one thing is certain. Shen Zhongbai had planned everything that happened today. Otherwise, the imperial decree, official seal and appointment letter could not be prepared so quickly. It seems that Shen Zhongbai is determined. , To pull yourself into the game.

There was only one way out of the palace. As expected, Gu Huaian walked on the road and saw Gu Linjiang, who was already standing there, waiting for him. There was no one here, and some were relatively remote. It seemed that Gu Linjiang was here on purpose. Waiting.

"Is Prime Minister Gu going to the next official?"

"Huai'an, the emperor has appointed you as an official, and you have to do your job well. You can't live up to the emperor's trust in you." Gu Linjiang naturally saw the imperial decree in Gu Huai'an's hand.

"Prime Minister Gu joked. Since Huai'an has already taken over the imperial decree, it means that he is ready to be an official. Although Prime Minister Gu is a veteran of the court, he still doesn't bother to mention these simple things. ."

Gu Huaian knew that at the moment he took over the imperial decree, it had become a tool for the two of them to fight openly and secretly. Shen Zhongbai was short of a dead ghost, so he caught himself as a target. It seems that if they don’t get rid of them soon One of them has no good life for himself.

"Huai'an, Dad actually feels sorry for you too. What's so good about being an official in the court? Look, you didn't serve as an official before, and you even went to the battlefield with the nine princes. Now that it’s hard to get a chance to stay away from officialdom, why did you come here by yourself?"

"It turns out that Prime Minister Gu still remembers that I am your biological son. When I was bullied by my wife and forced to leave home, where were you? When my sister was tortured in Gu's house, you were there again. where?"

Gu Huaian didn't save any face for Gu Linjiang, turned around and left.

As soon as I left the palace gate, I saw Gu Suran who was waiting anxiously at the door. When Gu Huaian came out safely, the stone in Gu Qiang's heart was put down, "Are you... okay?"
